Save Chrisp Street Market London E14

This concerns raised by Local Businesses and Residents regarding the Chrisp Street Regeneration Proposal.

We are writing to draw your attention to the serious concerns raised by local businesses and residents following the proposal on the Chrisp Street Regeneration.

We demand an immediate deferral of the plans as there has been no meaningful consultation with local business owners, residents and stakeholders. An urgent meeting was held on Saturday 3rd February 2018, which was attended by business owners, residents and stakeholders.

Also they want to change the name from being a market to a centre knowing that this market has been here over 150 years. Also they want to remove existing car park and build luxury homes.

The business owners, residents and stakeholders have complained of a lack of information regarding the regeneration scheme. There has been very little effort being made to ensure that all those affected by the scheme were made aware of any public consultations or meetings. Rather, the business owners have been made to feel intimidated and threatened by individual visits from representatives at Poplar Harca, seeking to take signatures on the spot. Some of the local businesses have been given different and conflicting reassurances and that has increased the level of anxiety and frustration amongst the local business owners at Chrisp St.

We want you all to support us all in stopping regentrification of Chrisp Street.
